Letter: Fleming will do right by all

The voters of Humboldt County are fortunate to have an outstanding candidate for the office of District Attorney. We have, in our professional lives as judge and legislator, become well-acquainted with the necessary skills of a good DA. We believe that Maggie Fleming is the only candidate who has these skills. Her experience in trial work, her experience in management, her understanding of matters of policy and personnel, of knowing who should try which cases and who will do so effectively — this is critically important.

Fleming has an excellent grasp of who she is and how to get done what must be done — she has confidence in her own abilities and abilities that inspire confidence in others. We have, through decades of public service, sought to represent and ensure just treatment of the disadvantaged, of those who frequently are not treated fairly. We trust Maggie Fleming to do right by all. She is fair and she is strong. She is an outstanding candidate. If we are fortunate, she will be our next District Attorney — and we are confident that our court system, our communities, and our county will be the better for it.
